Plot
Set in the turbulent 1990s, the story follows Satya Dada (Prakash Raj), a Mumbai port tycoon whose empire is under threat by the ruthless Mirajkar (Tej Sapru) and his impulsive son Jimmy (Sudhev Nair). When a missing container containing explosives causes disruption, Jimmy unleashes violence, murdering everyone, including Satya Dada’s younger son. But the biggest surprise concerns Omi Bhau (Emraan Hashmi), a violent thug who wants the container.
With the city out of control, all eyes are on Ojas Gambheera, also known as OG (Pawan Kalyan), a once-feared criminal lord who is now living in exile. He unwillingly returns to Mumbai, laying the groundwork for an outpouring of vengeance. Who is OG, why did he disappear, and how is he related to Satya Dada? The film addresses these themes while setting up a more intense confrontation with Omi Bhau.
Star cast
Apart from Pawan Kalyan, the film also features an ensemble cast including Emraan Hashmi, Prakash Raj, Arjun Das, Priyanka Mohan and Sriya Reddy in pivotal roles.
